  • suddenly PSDs do not show up in video with Alphas

    Apologies if this is incorrect forum!

    merrily creating alpha’s graphics -images and words – for use in Apple FCP and Motion when today all such NEWLY CREATED (ie today – so, older files key just fine) graphics display as a white box with the words:

    “This layered photoshop file was not saved with a composite image” !?!?

    Looks fine in photoshop (CS2). A note, I had to re-register photoshop with adobe yesterday as it was transfered into new 12core Mac from Mac pro G5 (PPC). Coincidence?? I wish….

    help!

    hey Richard-
    THANK YOU!
    suspect this happens frequently. I likely did just what you suggested YEARS ago with G5 then promptly forgot how – my bad 😉

    It’s always nice to solve a problem
